So I'm assuming my stock military alternator is fixed voltage? I was thinking 26.8 was a little low if it is fixed voltage? It's already 90° here and I did not run the old enough to get any real heat off the engine.
Yes, meaning it is not temperature compensated. The common old stock 60 amp military alternators are manually adjustable though. Don't go higher than 28.8v or you will be boiling acid. Go lower in hotter climates. Anything over 25.6v is charging. 26.8v is fine, it is working.

I don't think the first part of the thread title applies any more. Moving along at a pretty good clip now.

When is the wrecker part taking place?

I gotcha. I just noticed updates were speratic, then they started to be daily. A gin pole rig would be nice too. I just like seeing things that are unique. I also like piecing things together to make what I want. The end result will be impressive for sure. Let me know on the switch.
